US-Lebanon Diplomacy: Direct Talks with Israel, Aid Pledges, and Flight Directive
US President Trump met with Lebanese President Aoun, marking the first such visit since 2009, coinciding with US-mediated direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. Trump pledged support to Lebanon and announced a directive for direct US commercial flights, though the specifics of the support and the feasibility of flight implementation remain uncertain. Lebanese leadership is seeking US mediation for an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, with the success of this initiative dependent on US-Israeli alignment and Hezbollah's regional presence.
